Good Raoul Walsh's film

As I have already said before, Raoul Walsh did not bring his best part of career during the fifties or even the early sixties - he stopped in 1965 - but during the forties. But that doesn't mean the movies he gave us in the fifties are lousy or bad. No, they are just fine, entertaining, nt flaming. For instance this one could be a Joseph Pevney's movie, or Nathan Juran's, good Universal "home" directors, but without the Walsh's touch that you had in the forties for Warner Brothers, starring Errol Flynn...And as a French, I am always amused to see French villains in Hollywood films, and Gerard Oury as Napoleon is a pure delight.

Trivia
In a 1984 interview on "Wogan" Rock Hudson said he could not remember what this film was about.

Goofs
British soldiers did not wear shakos (hats) like those depicted. The shakos of the time tended to be plain black hats with only a regimental number badge at the front.

Crazy credits
Opening credits prologue: Guernsey in the Channel Islands near the coast of France in the year 1800, where fishermen, prevented by war from following their usual livelihood, turned to other occupations....
